The $4,000 Budget

My Fall Inspirations

For me, this season is about luxurious fabrics-substantial knits and leather accents-but in slim silhouettes.From top to bottom:I find that the thing I'm attracted to for my home, I also want in my wardrobe. I'll be looking for clothing with the same rich colors as this John Roboshaw pillow.Even though this Derek Lam outfit layers so many textures, it appears very neat because the lines are so clean.Barcelona's Park Guell was designed by one of Spain's most influential architects, Antoin Gaudi. Everything is covered in mosaic tile. It looks like a fluid print.-Dana Avidan-Cohn, market editor

A Year-Round Dress

I usually associate tribal patterns with summer. But since this dress is in black and white, it feels seasonless. Layer it with a blazer or sweater, and you can wear it all year.Silk dress, $590; Thakoon, at Barneys New York.

Silk Button-Downs

I live in silk button-downs, like this one, and the next (see next slide), and Equipment makes the best ones. They're tailored but as comfortable as a men's pajama top.Silk shirt, Equipment, $208; net-a-porter.com.

Faded Denim

It's easier to mix colored items when they are slightly faded, like these muted clay jeans. A bright hue stands out more; this is almost like a neutral.Denim jeans, Mih Jeans, $198; mih-jeans.com.

A Statement Necklace
